SEW STAY Space Tour
This is a facility tour where you can explore the spaces of SEW STAY.
Inside the facility, we incorporate spatial design using fabric to divide and shape the space.
You can experience the texture and transparency of the materials, the way light passes through them, and how fabric can be used to partition space within a real architectural setting.
SEW STAY is a facility backed by an apparel sewing factory.
The fabric partitions used throughout the facility are produced using the same sewing techniques used in garment production.
With the equipment and capabilities of a sewing factory, we can accommodate everything from small-batch production to project-scale manufacturing.
This tour is recommended for architects and designers who would like to explore how fabric can be used in spatial design and to see the finishing details and sewing techniques in person.
The tour is also open to anyone interested in textiles, interior design, or spatial design.
It is ideal for those who are unable to stay overnight but would still like to visit and see the facility.

Natural Surroundings
SEW STAY is located near a brackish water area where the river meets the sea. Because of this natural environment, insects may occasionally appear, especially during the summer. You may also hear the sounds of birds from the riverside in the early morning or late at night. We hope you enjoy these small signs of nature during your stay.
Quiet Environment
SEW STAY is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. To respect the surrounding community, please avoid loud voices, music, or noise outdoors during the evening and night. We hope you will enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this small port town.
Smoking and Fire
Smoking and the use of open flames are strictly prohibited anywhere on the property, including outdoor areas.
About the Building
The house was renovated from a traditional building, and some original elements such as traditional walls and floor level differences have been preserved. Please be careful when moving around the house. We cannot take responsibility for any injuries or accidents that may occur during your stay.
Staying with Children
SEW STAY was not specifically designed for small children. Children are welcome to stay, but if you are traveling with young children, especially preschool-aged children, please ensure they are supervised at all times.
Curtains and Interior Items
The curtains and some interior elements in the house are original textile pieces created by a local sewing factory. They are part of the design of the space, so we kindly ask that they be handled with care. If any damage occurs during your stay, please inform us immediately. If damage is discovered after check-out without prior notice, repair costs may be charged.
